Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing raw chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. This serves as the hearty base for your Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup. Make sure the pieces are evenly spaced for even cooking.
  2. Layer in the chopped onion and minced garlic, followed by Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle these ingredients over the chicken, ensuring they are distributed well for maximum flavor infusion. Then, add the crushed tomatoes on top for a tangy layer.
  3. Gently pour the chicken broth over the layers in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is completely submerged. This will create a rich, flavorful base for your soup. Set your slow cooker to low and cover it, letting the ingredients meld for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  4. After cooking time is complete, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the pot. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces; it should be tender and easy to pull apart. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker to incorporate back into the soup.
  5. Stir in heavy cream slowly, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the broth. This will create the creamy texture that makes this Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup irresistible. If you prefer a thicker consistency, prepare a cornstarch slurry and add it at this stage, mixing well.
  6. Gradually add freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the soup while stirring continuously. This ensures a smooth and creamy finish without clumping. The cheese should melt fully, infusing the soup with its savory goodness.
  7. Cover the slow cooker and let the soup cook uncovered on low for an additional 20-30 minutes. This final step allows the soup to thicken beautifully as the flavors continue to develop. Stir occasionally to keep everything well combined.
  8. Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed—adding salt, pepper, or additional red pepper flakes to suit your palate. Once satisfied with the flavor, it’s time to dish out your comforting Crock Pot Creamy Chicken Parmesan Soup into bowls and savor the deliciousness!
